There is a song that has been playing on every New Year's Eve in Bulgaria for many years. It is the definition of old but gold. Generations of Bulgarians know the song and invariably associate it with the voices of Bogdana Karadocheva and Vasil Naidenov. The music is by Stefan Dimitrov, the lyrics - by Margarita Petkova.

"The bells are ringing and sparks are blazing, the festive night is shining with love. New Year! You are welcome!”

Best wishes to you, dear friends, no matter where on the planet you listen to Radio Bulgaria!
